25
What are the four basic lays for supply line
Forward lay using a charged supply line Forward lay using an uncharged supply line Direct to fire no line laid or split lay reverse lay using a charged line
26
What is a forward lay using a charged supply line
Hydrant to fire, the supply line is immediately charged to the pump
27
What is a forward lay using it uncharged supply line
Supply line late from the truck at the hydrant to the fire but left uncharged at the hydrant until another company can charge hook up to it
28
What is direct to fire no line laid
The first pumper arrives directly to the fire scene and lays no supply line
29
What is a reverse lay using a charged line
The pumper lays the firefighting hose and attack lines at the fire scene can next LDH supply line and lays to the hydrant hooking up and sending water
30
What are forward lay advantages
Engine is self-sufficient of water supply Company is for you to take up any position in the front rear side Another company can drop off its crew take lines off the Forward engine The large hoseline or pre-connected master stream maybe used almost immediately after arrival
31
Disadvantages of forward lay
Delay well pump or stops and drops a firefighter at hydrant Temporary loss of that firefighter remaining at the hydrant until charged Supply lines being laid may enter letter company access
32
Advantages of forward uncharged lay
After hose lay entire crew is at fire scene
33
Disadvantages of forward uncharged lay
Two engine companies tied up Another company respond from the same direction as the first To engine company has a to arrive in quick succession Time delay with radio communication and SOG problems
34
Direct to fire alternative approach
Second engine lay supply line from first pumper to hydrant
35
How is direct to fire effective in areas without hydrants
First bumper can work on fire immediately. Second pump or lay supply line from first pumper to nearest water supply, such as pond lake stream or pool
36
Advantages of direct to fire
First arriving pumper directly to firefighting Second engine crew use lines off first onece water supply is established Effective when drafting is needed
37
Disadvantages of direct to fire
Needs coordination SOG and close arriving companies Two engines required Little or no margin of safety with water for attack crew
38
Advantage of reverse lay charge line
Pumper not position close to fire does not block approach and operation of ladder truck
39
Reverse lay charged disadvantage
Time consuming | Fire attack equipment removed from pumper before proceeding to hydrant
40
Pre-pipe master stream appliance
Master stream appliance that has a separate discharge pipe of adequate diameter that runs from fire pump to appliance
41
Standard equipment requirements for an engine Company are
Basically alike an urban suburban and Burrell
42
A screw down thread at the end of a solid stream nozzle that allows a smaller line with a inch and a half coupling to be attached is what
Leader line
43
What is the most desirable how was lay for water supply
Forward lay
